"We could soon be opening an e-book and encountering not just text and pictures, he thinks, but audio and video clips, perhaps even games. You could even see films from within books."

Maybe they could get actors to play the parts of characters in the book, and add atmospheric music and special effects and stuff. And the books could come on Blu-ray disks so that you could read them on your TV. Wouldn't that be great? Even better if they condense the book down to about an hour and a half, then you could read a new book every day.
